BOARD CHARACTERISTICS, BOARD ROLE PERFORMANCE AND PERFORMANCE OF CO-OPERATIVES IN UGANDA: EVIDENCE OF AGRICULTURAL CO-OPERATIVE UNIONS.
REFNo: SS5210ES
1.3. Objectives of the Study
The study aims to support evidence-based policy and practice by examining how governance affects the performance of agricultural cooperatives in Uganda. It highlights that effective board composition, structure, and size are vital for cooperative success, while poor governance can lead to mismanagement and loss of trust. Strengthening governance is key to ensuring sustainability and safeguarding farmers' interests.
1.3.1. General Objective
The general objective of the study is to explore the relationship between board characteristics, board role performance, and financial and non-financial performance (profitability, liquidity, productivity, market share, and social performance) of agricultural cooperative unions in Uganda with a view to addressing governance issues
1.3.2. Objectives of the Study
The study will be guided by the following specific objectives;
1. To investigate the relationship between board characteristics (composition: age, diversity, education and expertise; size and structure) and financial performance (profitability, liquidity) and non-financial performance (productivity, market share, and social performance) of agricultural cooperative unions in Uganda.
2. To establish the relationship between board characteristics (composition, size and structure) and board role performance (strategic, control and service roles).
3. To assess the relationship between board role performance (strategic, control and service roles) and financial and non-financial performance (profitability, liquidity, productivity, market share, and social performance) of agricultural cooperative unions in Uganda.
4. To examine the mediating role of board role performance on the relationship between board characteristics and financial and non-financial performance of agricultural cooperative unions in Uganda.

Mpox Genomic Characterization, Viral Evolution and Host Response in Uganda: A multi-Omics Investigation of Transmission, Immune Evasion and Disease Severity
REFNo: HS7619ES
Main Objective:
To characterize the genomic, transcriptomic, epigenomic and proteomic profiles of MPXV infection in symptomatic cases and their contacts to inform improved diagnostic, control and management strategies.
Specific Objectives:
Objective 1: Viral Evolution and Transmission of the MPXV. This objective seeks to characterize MPXV genomic diversity and identify mutations associated with viral load, transmission clustering and infection duration. This involves identifying genetic variants driving adaptation, transmission and pathogenesis, sequencing viral genome for real-time evolution tracking, defining transmission dynamics among Mpox cases and their contacts, and collecting data on transmission risk factors for improved transmission control.
Objective 2: Host transcriptional Expression. We’ll identify host gene expression signatures associated with Mpox severity, immune evasion, clearance, and progression by comparing cases, contacts, and healthy controls (HCs). HCs will provide baseline host gene expression profiles.
Objective 3: Epigenetic regulation. Assess whether MPXV infection alters chromatin accessibility and interferon-stimulated gene regulation in infected individuals. Host chromatin architecture and epigenetic markers in both asymptomatic and symptomatic Mpox infections will be defined enabling us to dissect and understand chromatin remodeling mechanism driving infection and disease progression.
Objective 4: Comparative Proteomic Analysis. To characterize proteomic signatures in Mpox suspected patients, close contacts, and healthy controls, leading to identification of potential biomarkers for infection detection and an understanding of host response in Mpox.
Objective 5: Integrated Multi-Omics Analysis. Integrate viral genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and epigenomics to identify mechanisms of immune evasion and predictors of transmission success.
Objective 6: Living with Mpox Experience. To explore healthcare workers' and survivors' perspectives on the impact of Mpox diagnosis and management on physical, emotional, and social well-being in Uganda.

Enhancing childhood cancer outcomes in southwestern Uganda: Addressing diagnostic and treatment delays, and describing a patient cohort at the Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital
REFNo: HS7579ES
The overarching objective is to improve timely diagnosis and treatment, and outcomes for childhood cancer patients in southwestern Uganda by characterizing childhood cancer patients seen at the Paediatric Cancer unit (PCU) in MRRH, assessing the diagnostic pathways and delays, capturing experiences of caretakers and key stakeholders, and developing a context-specific referral algorithm supported by quality paediatric cancer data.
The specific objectives include:
1. To characterize the cohort of childhood cancer patients presenting to the PCU (including sociodemographic, symptom progression, clinical presentation at PCU, cancer types, diagnostics, treatments, and outcomes) using a validated database.
2. To describe the patient journey and delays at each stage of the three delays model (detailed in the figure 1) with a focus on:
a. Quantifying the average time intervals (delays) from symptom onset to confirmed diagnosis and treatment initiation of common childhood cancers, and to describe the implications of these delays on the outcomes of the patient cohort.
b. Describing the healthcare pathways and determining factors associated with duration of delays for common childhood cancers.
c. Exploring the lived experiences of caretakers of children diagnosed with cancer, from initial symptom recognition to diagnosis and treatment initiation.
d. Exploring the perceptions of key stakeholders (including healthcare providers at all levels of the healthcare system and key community informants) on childhood cancer and on its diagnosis and treatment initiation delays.
3. To collaboratively develop and refine context-specific referral decision algorithms for childhood cancers to improve early identification and referral efficiency.
